How the name was read
Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Named in the 1915 county history
The history of Preble County was published 4 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.
Quite a number of the citizens of New Paris, especially the foreign population, were staunch supporters of the Roman Catholic church, and about the year 1870, with characteristic zeal, they took steps toward the building of the church, which is a brick building standing on the south side of East Walnut street. This building, both in size and appearance, compares very favorably with the other churches of town. The church is not strong enough to support a settled priest, but is supplied from time to time by priests from the neighboring city of Richmond.

Provenance
Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of New Paris, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
